About

Situated in the historical town of Blaenavon and close to the amenities of Pontypool, Arthur Jenkins Care Home provides residential care in a home from home environment offering ground floor accommodation for 29 people aged over 55.

Our reputation is endorsed by the enthusiasm of the residents and the peace of mind enjoyed by their relatives and friends. We offer both permanent and respite options for people who require residential and dementia residential care.

The home also features a range of areas to relax in, with a large lounge area and two separate dining areas and a central garden area. A range of activities are on offer and are discussed monthly at our residents meeting. Links with local services are strong, so visits from GPs, district nurses, dieticians, physiotherapists and chiropodists are easily arranged.
